The Blurry Truth: Japan Tsunami On March 11‚ 2011‚ a tragedy struck Japan that will never be forgotten. Ocean ridges and mountain ranges below the surface of the ocean caused the waves created by the 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan. These two factors together caused a deathly Tsunami that Japan is still struggling to recover from. The earthquake and tsunami together killed 15‚840 people and set off a nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Six million households‚

2010 Mw = 8.8 Mega-thrust Earthquake‚ Maule‚ Chile 5/2/13 By Travis Eddy 1. Introduction In early 2010 central south Chile experienced a Mw = 8.8 earthquake and large tsunami waves that devastated areas on the Chilean Pacific coast‚ nearby offshore islands‚ and areas near the epicenter. In addition to the tsunami‚ the earthquake had many other geological consequences including aftershocks‚ terrestrial and submarine land-sliding‚ elevation changes‚ and a gravity shift. The purpose of this

The devastating earthquake triggered a tsunami just off the coast of central Chile‚ which affected the entire Pacific Basin (usgs). After Chile‚ the tsunami traveled hundreds of miles and caused destruction all around the Pacific. The places that experienced the most impact was Hawaii and Japan (2010). The earthquake set off waves which bounced back and forth across the Pacific Ocean for a week (history). The Great Chilean earthquake along with the large tsunamis‚ has caused substantial damage to the

Effects of earthquakes Shaking and ground rupture Shaking and ground rupture are the main effects created by earthquakes‚ principally resulting in more or less severe damage to buildings and other rigid structures. The severity of the local effects depends on the complex combination of the earthquake magnitude‚ the distance from the epicenter‚ and the local geological and geomorphological conditions‚ which may amplify or reduce wave propagation.[44] The ground-shaking is measured by ground acceleration

that can impose harmful conditions for human life. At any moment there are natural hazards that can occur on the earth. While some hazards are more predictable than others‚ all have the potential to have disastrous outcomes. Like the catastrophic tsunami of the Indian Ocean in December of 2004 or the more recent‚ Hurricane Sandy in New York. There is no comparison between nature and ma- made systems to stop the cycle of earth’s climate‚ there is nothing we can do to prevent or reduce natural hazards*

In 2006‚ an author‚ Richard Lewis‚ who lives in United Kingdom wrote a book‚ The Killing Sea‚ about the tsunami in 2004 in Indonesia. He wanted to teach all the readers a lesson to appreciate your loved ones while you have them. Thankfully‚ Lewis understood how people may not think that they are going to lose someone that they love because he know information about the tsunami who killed 230‚000 innocent people. A work well done‚ he created the sassy character‚ Sarah to have a conflict with her mom

Scientific Research Paper‚ my methodology as follows. First‚ I shall analyze the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami‚ which happened in March 11‚ 2011. Second‚ I will diagnose macro interaction to the earthquake with the disaster mitigation policy of Japan. Third‚ I will extract some specific macro results and propose specific solutions. An earthquake of magnitude 9.0 and a tsunami hit the pacific coast of northern Japan on March 11‚ 2011. It will have a significant negative impact on the Japanese
